Introduction to Linux - A Hands on Guide

This guide was created as an overview of the Linux Operating System, geared toward new users as an exploration tour and getting started guide, with exercises at the end of each chapter.
For more advanced trainees it can be a desktop reference, and a collection of the base knowledge needed to proceed with system and network administration. This book contains many real life examples derived from the author's experience as a Linux system and network administrator, trainer and consultant. They hope these examples will help you to get a better understanding of the Linux system and that you feel encouraged to try out things on your own.

I've installed F14 on KVM using bridged networking between my host device eth1 and guest device eth0. I manually added the bridge by editing my /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1 and ifcfg-br0(name I gave the bridge). When I run the virtual machine and enable the eth0 device on the guest, it works completely fine, however, my host eth0 device has extremely limited bandwidth and isn't usable. I tried shutting down the KVM machine, and the host eth0 still wasn't usable. It does however retain it's use if I reboot the physical machine, which also for some reason deletes my ifcfg-br0 bridge file in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ . I am now lost,lol.

The thing that was confusing me was that I have two pyhsical NICs both cable connected to a switch so even if I have one bound to the VM shouldn't the other still maintain a connection. It's connected, it's just REALLY slow.
